New(ish)bie from Brisbane, Aust. coming to enjoy the USA cashflow ;)

[Cate S.]

Hi all,

As mentioned above, I am based in Brisbane, Australia, but am striking out in the USA - the deals are just too good :)

I have been in business for 10 years (business consulting, web design, online publishing), but have decided that real estate is how I want to build my wealth, so am here to learn :) I have just done some coaching with the Kiyosaki team, which has introduced me basically to USA RE, now for the real lessons!

I am really interested in large-ish apartment complexes, 100+ units, B or C class properties in blue collar neighborhoods. Being so far away, and so new to the US market I might leave the serious rehabbers for now, but maybe down the track. I have always liked the idea of rehabbing and/or developing from scratch :) But I will leave that headache for another day :)

So far I have thoroughly researched Charlotte, NC, and am keen to find some properties there; I have also looked at Austin and Houston, TX, and like the look of that market too.

My big task at the moment is building a buyers list :)... fun and games! :)

Nice to meet you all!
Cate

I have seen some private quity based lenders with foreign hard money programs. PM if you want a link to a large list of verified lenders, some of which will have foreign national programs. I am not making a dime off of that link that I will send you, just cant put it in a forum post (forum rules)

As for Kiyosaki, a Rich Dad Poor Dad book was the first thing that turned me on to real estate 7 years ago.
